Description
What makes this guitar special? This DC-16GTE has great playability, an outstanding electronics system, and the classic Martin dreadnought tone. Outside of its numerous lovemarks from almost 10 years of use, this guitar is still in great shape, especially considering its consistent playability. The Fishman Prefix system offers extensive controls for a built-in acoustic system including a helpful notch filter for eliminating intrusive frequencies. Plus, you know, it’s a Martin, so you can’t really go wrong in terms of tone.
Condition: This guitar is in very good condition overall. It does have various nicks, dings, dents, and scratches throughout the neck and body from almost 10 years of being played, but still looks good, plays the same, and sounds even better. The frets show mostly light-medium wear and still have a lot of life left in them. The truss rod functions as it should.

Neck: Select hardwood neck and richlite fingerboard with pearl dot inlays. 1 11/16” white corian nut. Chrome sealed tuning machines.
Electronics: Fishman Prefix electronics system. 1 x notch knob, 1 x volume knob. 1 x bass, 1 x contour, 1 x treble, 1 x frequency, 1 x blend slider. Phase switch and built-in tuner.
Weight: 4 lbs 13 oz
